Roland DGA is pleased to announce that it entered into an OEM agreement with Vectric software of the United Kingdom. Vectric is the maker of VCarve Desktop Software. In years past, Roland DG packaged EngraveStudio with the EGX-350/EGX-360 engraving machines. With the advent of the new DE-3 Desktop Engraver, Roland DG allowed the OEM agreement with Vectric to lapse based on Global and regional software demands. The original EngraveStudio is the same as VCarve Desktop with many improvements with the advent of Version 10. With this newly formed alliance with Vectric, Roland DGA will begin shipping a copy of VCarve Desktop with every DE-3 engraver and every MDX-50, MDX-540/MDX-540S milling machine.
Customers that purchased a DE-3, MDX-50, MDX-540/MDX-540S prior to November 30, 2019 may purchase a copy of VCarve Desktop for $349.00. Customers that purchase beginning December 1, 2019 will receive a copy of VCarve Desktop free with a new machine purchase.

• VCarve has a wide range of industry standard import / export file formats that accommodate workflows with AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW and other design programs.
• VCarve also includes a powerful CAM engine that gives complete control over tool path and machine production cycles and workflows.
